Are maths and physics really useful ? Most useful day to day inventions were invented by people with no major experience in math and physics. It seems that craftsmanship is more the most important skill.

Why do you equate usefulness with inventions?

From physics
>automobiles
>aircraft
>refrigeration
>semiconductors and computer technology
>PET and MRI
>communication and signals
>basically all of electromagnetism
From math
>optimized matrix libraries that make the computer world run fast
>probability and risk being the basis of so much engineering, statistical physics, algorithms, finance, etc
>combinatorics, graph theory being the basis of classic algorithms research
>number theory as the basis of cryptography
>algebra and lattice theory being the basis of the study of crystals

What a surprise, who knew that engineers use math and physics to make new stuff.

And what are applications to problems? Inventions.

solutions to problems may not necessarily be a physically new piece of hardware or hardware configuration.

For example a solution to solving a food shortage could be:
>developing a new form of nutrient that causes plants to grow 50 times as fast
>buy more farm land but use entirely existing tech
>take less breaks and work longer hours while working in agriculture so you can produce more

in•ven•tion ?n-v?nsh?n?
n. The act or process of inventing.
n. A new device, method, or process developed from study and experimentation.
n. A mental fabrication, especially a falsehood.
The problem with sayng it's not an invention is that anything that we apply from our thoughts can be an invention
